I have a couple of Floureon brand (not a typo) and they seem fine. The

these use (small, low quality) lead acid batteries, at least in the
cheaper versions.

Is Floureon a decent brand, or just a made-up name like all the others?
Because I note there's:

44Wh for 28 quid, looks decent value? Though the reviews are a bit mixed.

Well, all I can say is I mentioned one earlier that has been
consistently good in my use and IIRC the reviews were excellent.

"Mixed reviews" on Amazon is a red flag to me - it usually means:

1) The manufacturing quality is inconsistent;

2) Some users do not really *use* the product to its claimed limits.
